F-18 has issues of its own. Turns out, the jet only has 1/2 the fatigue life that the Navy thought it did. Surprise surprise, the contractor fudged the results in their reporting to the Navy.

Some flow control and vibration issues on the wing unless I am mistaken. Watch the lack of vertical pull-ups up vs. the F-16's standing on their tails at airshows. What does that tell you...

You are mistaken. Go watch the Blues flying A models for starters.
